Review: The Best! - Bought used through desertcart. Book arrived in excellent condition and in a timely manner. The Peterson Guide is the gold standard of Field Guides. I'll be using this for my new hobby of micro fishing in rivers, streams, and creeks on the east coast. The plates and descriptions of the fish in the book are superb and easy to understand. Beautiful pictures. The book is compact but weighty. Will fit in a small day pack nicely.
Review: Improved and updated, useful for anyone interested in fish. - This guide is a great go-to book to identify nearly any freshwater fish you would come across in North America. That is the main purpose of this guide and it does it very well. It is not overly geared for icthyologists although alot of the descriptive terminology is not in everyones vocabulary, there is a glossary to define these terms used, so you can always find out exactly what a "caudal fulcrum" or any other term you are unfamiliar with means. It is set up for people interested in fish that want to know what they are. The plates are organized with similar looking species together and short descriptions and arrows are used to show you what to look for to seperate the different species. If you have narrowed it down to a couple of possibilities but still not quite sure, you can go to the page with more complete decriptions for each species and it tells you morphological characteristics, range maps, habitats, and similar species so you can be more sure of your identification. It also has more detailed pictures of certain parts to look for if two or more fish are very similar in appearance. I can not think of a better way for such a complete guide to be organized. The plates do what they are intended to do, and that is to give you a visual guide to identification in one place, so you dont have to flip through 600 pages of descriptions for each species with a picture next to each one. This book is useful to everyone from the professionals to a kid who netted his first darter out of a stream and wonders what it is.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Fish Identifier
*by R***B on July 22, 2022*

I accidentally donated my original copy of this book to the library before I moved. Thankfully my wife re-bought the book and I have the pleasure of knowing other folks can get it through the library. It's a great little book crammed with all kinds of information for fishermen, or just outdoor lovers, alike. Over 600 pages in a compact book.
